Apple Brie Tartlets

A cross between sweet and savoury, these apple tartlets are wrapped in a flaky puff pastry, and filled with soft baked local apples, creamy brie and crunchy walnuts.

Makes 12 tartlets

Chef Tip: Leftovers stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven at 350F for 35 minutes or until warm and crispy.

Variety Tip: *Use any local variety that holds its shape when baked

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed as instructed on the package
1 cup Ontario apples*, diced small (125g)
